Tuesday evening next, the nth, the
citizens of this place will probably take
action on a matter of great public mo-
ment to the business of Nergennes. At
the last meeting a committee was APP
pointed to learn what water-power and
contiguous land could be bought by the
city and for what sum. The committee
are to report at the next meeting. The
citizens will be given an opportunity, it
is expected, to make terms with the Adj
irondack Granite Co.. by which the com
pany will agree to locate their business
here. bringing large number of skilled
workmen and their families. to become
citizens. and add to the wealth. business
land prospective growth of the place.
Public opinion is not a unit on the ques-
ton, even with all its apparent advantage
es. Perhaps further information will
make this so plainly the opportunity we
really need to give Nergennes business
boom that favorable action will charac-
terze the meeting. The power and land
offered by F. NJ. Strong is undoubtedly
the property to buy, both for price and
location. But the meeting is authorized,
by the call, to act finally.
